Global AI Summit (GAIN) 2027
About the event
The fourth edition of the Global AI Summit (GAIN) takes place in Riyadh from 7 to 9 September 2027 at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Centre, under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. The summit had first been announced for 15 to 17 September 2026; in August 2026 the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority announced the new dates, following a shared request from the summit's international partners for further consultation on the programme in light of the pace of global developments in the field.
The programme is built around three themes set by the organiser. AI Now examines how the sector's leaders deploy, scale and apply the technology today, through keynotes, workshops, panel sessions and technology demonstrations. AI Next looks ahead to the effect the technology will have on people, businesses and government organisations. AI Never opens the debate on the ethics of the technology and the limits of its responsible use. For this edition the authority targets more than 300 speakers, 170 sessions, 18,000 participants and 30 million online viewers.
The summit is organised by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) and addresses government leaders, policymakers, chief executives, researchers and innovators working in artificial intelligence, inside the Kingdom and beyond. The organiser has not yet announced the programme, the speakers, the sponsors or the opening of registration; the programme, speakers and sponsors pages on the summit website all read "coming soon".
